Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo dumped Jessica Simpson the night before her 29th birthday last week.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo dumped Jessica Simpson the night before her 29th birthday last week. Simpson is “heartbroken,” a source told People.com, but “he hasn’t really been into her and the relationship for a while,” another person told Foxnews.com. The couple began dating in November 2007 and briefly separated last May, partly because Romo felt that Simpson’s famously controlling father was meddling in their lives. “At one point Joe was even giving Tony football advice, which doesn’t go down well,” another source told Foxnews.com.
